I don't want to make this discussion go on too long, but

the simple operation we needed, so we imported it in saga, and with a
few clicks we had our result.

This is typically the example where quick and dirty "works", but where it might contain imprecise results if you do not ensure clean polygons: any point falling into sliver polygons will be counted double. So this is exactly why I would plead for not allowing such operation in GRASS, as I see as one of the trademarks and strengths of GRASS its rigour in pushing the use as far as possible towards a careful and thoughful use of the data.
